Summary/Abstract: In the article, Konstantin A. Barsht’s publications devoted to the study of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s creativity are subjected to a critical analysis: 1) works on the drawings and calligraphy of the writer; 2) a commented edition of Dostoevsky’s novel “Poor Folk” for “Literary Monuments” series; 3) publications about the manuscripts of the novel “Demons”, including the publication of Dostoevsky’s workbooks with draft notes for this novel (2021); 4) Barsht’s articles from the collection “Dostoevsky: Еtymology of Narration” (2019). The analysis of these publications reveals Barsht’s unprofessionalism as a researcher, as well as his violation of scientific ethics. The authors of the article proceed from the idea that this kind of imitation of research is unacceptable, publications should undergo a qualified examination and receive expert evaluation.
